Zucchini Bread Overnight Oats
Description
Zucchini Bread Overnight Oats combine rolled oats, grated zucchini, cinnamon, vanilla protein powder, and almond milk left to soak overnight. The grated zucchini integrates moisture and a subtle vegetable note, while cinnamon adds warmth and depth. After chilling, the oats absorb the liquid, creating a soft, creamy texture balanced by the firm, chopped walnuts topping. The use of unsweetened almond milk keeps the base light, while optional maple syrup can add a touch of sweetness according to taste.
Serving this chilled breakfast is practical for mornings when time is limited but a nourishing meal is desired. It can be eaten directly from the container or transferred to a bowl, optionally stirred with extra milk to loosen the consistency. The walnuts provide texture contrast and help round the flavor.
The recipe notes suggest substitution options, including any non-dairy or dairy milk and replacing protein powder with Greek yogurt, offering flexibility based on dietary preferences or available ingredients.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ¾ cup almond milk unsweetened; or cashew milk
- 1 vanilla protein powder scoop
- ¼ cup zucchini grated
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ - 1 Tablespoon maple syrup optional
- 1 Tablespoon walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Place all ingredients except the walnuts in a container and stir until well combined. Seal with a lid and place in the fridge overnight (or at least a couple hours).
- Serve: Bring out of the fridge in the morning and stir. You'll notice that the oats soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more milk before serving. Top oats with walnuts and serve cold.
Notes
- Use any type of non-dairy or dairy milk according to preference or availability.
- If protein powder is unavailable or undesired, replace it with 1-2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt for added creaminess and protein.
